CHILDREN OF THE SNOWY PEAKS

​

​“The Children of the Snowy Peaks” is a visual exploration of Dzongu through its mythical landscapes and contemporary ecology. This project explores the folk stories and spiritual world views of the Lepcha community and their relationship to the natural world, juxtaposing them with the present-day ecological crises along the Teesta River, brought about by hydel projects and climate change; and the “Save Teesta” movement, which has been active for almost two decades.
